The illustrations were stunning & the tale of Nona and her granddaughter, Tali is beautiful. It is sad when a loved one’s mind begins to deteriorate and they forget your name and the traditions you did with them. Tali tries her best to help Nona remember and pretend everything is okay. I wonder where Tali’s mom is in this story?

Thank you to The Collective Book Studio and NetGalley for the e-ARC to read and review. The illustrations of this children's book are simply lovely, and have rich colors and so much visual interest across the pages, it's captivating. The story itself weaves culture, family, and elder care themes together for an interesting read. Young Tali is spending time with her nona, who luckily lives just next door. Nona operates on a different timeline than anyone else, one of her own: Timeless Time. She's forgetful, and calls Tali by her mother's name, and gets distracted while they are cooking together. It's presented here as a magical other timeline, an otherworldly outlook on reality woven with experience. The story does a great job at showing Tali dealing with this memory loss and looking after her grandma, but I do think she absorbs a lot of the worry without another adult to come in and help out. But it is a great way to show kids how to recognize lapses in their elders' memories, while still appreciating all of the valuable, rich traditions that they DO remember and pass down eagerly to their younger generations of family.

Adorable little book that taught me and my baby son about other cultures. My Grandpa was orphaned but from genealogy we believe his Mom was Jewish, so this book quickly became very dear to my heart. Gorgeous illustrations, a lovely hygge experience, and all around just filled with love and warmth.
